Editing of ZEN-Core tones structured in 6 subsections where you can modify
all the synthesis parameters and those relating to the 93 effects provided by
the standard. Below is a list of the main features.
- Vector and resizable graphic interface.
- Communication speed between synth and computer capable of real-time
listening of changes without any additional latency. The division of the summary
parameters allows the editing of the most important parameters in a single
screen.
- Real time graphic display of the envelopes (Filter, AMP and Pitch) and the
keyboard and velocity range sections
- Copy and paste of partials via
clipboard.
- Use of Macro controls to speed up editing by controlling the
same parameter of any combination of the 4 partials in parallel.
- Editing of "hidden" ZEN-Core synthesis parameters not directly
accessible in the synths: VCF Gain Correction,
Partial LFO Phase Lock, Pitch Down Depth, Pitch Drift, Pitch Drift Cycle Number - Condition e VA Init Phase
- 4-track step sequencer. Using a Template it is possible to
obtain 4-voice melodic and rhythmic sequences with a single Zen-Core tone,
synchronized with the scene BPM.
To do this, up to 8 STEP-LFOs (2 for each partial) and 128 steps in total are
used simultaneously, all organized in a graphic interface designed to facilitate
programming.
- 24 ZEN-Core presets, divided into:
INI: simple sounds to use as a template for editing. PR1: some of the most significant sounds from the optional
library that can be purchased separately PR2: ZEN-Core tones of rhythmic and melodic sequences (8
STEP LFO and related template)
- Complete editing of the 93 effects of ZEN-Core standard and
25 presets for the most used effects
- import of ZEN-Core tones and conversion of sounds generated
with Model Expansions
All synths compatible with the ZEN-Core standard, the Roland
Zenology Pro software and the ZenBeat ZC1 player, are able to export the
ZEN-Core User Tones and, if available, the User Tones obtained to files (.SVZ
format) with the various Model Expansions.
Through a proprietary conversion algorithm it is possible to load and
convert the user Tones (*.svz files) into the format used by the
editor-librarian, so as to load the user sounds of your synths into the library
and possibly modify them via the editor. This is possible thanks to a series of proprietary conversion routines.
For equivalent Model Expansions User Tone→Tone ZEN-Core conversion, the USER
TONES of the following Model Expansions are supported: JUNO-106 -JX-8P
-JUPITER-8 -SH-101 - Juno-60 - JUNO-X engine - JUPITER-X/XM engine
IMPORTANT: *.SDZ sound banks (those that can be purchased via Roland Cloud
Manager) are NOT supported as they are encrypted and protected by license.
ZEN-Core Librarian Section
Management of 16384 ZEN-Core tones, all resident in memory, via a
database structured in 8 libraries (Lib1-Lib2,..Lib8) each composed of
2048 tones. Each of the 8 libraries is divided into 16 banks
(A-B-C….P) of 128 tones each.
The dialogue between Librarian and
Synth is in real time and it is possible to transfer
each tone to the synth in a fraction of a second
thanks to the speed of synth - computer
communication and the ability of the software to
quickly manage MIDI SysEx messages.
Possible operations:
- Load and Save to file the various
data structures: entire database (16384 Tones),
single library (2048 tones), single bank (128 Tones)
and single tone.
- Save in the library of the tones
transferred from the synth and possibly modified
with the editor.
- Insert e Delete tones
- Moving the individual banks (128
Tones) using a “Bank Clipboard”
- Copy and paste functionality of
tone groups, from/to the library, using a clipboard
of variable size (1-48 Tones).
Scene Editor Section
Within this section, in the version of the software for AX-Edge and
Jupiter-X/Xm, the main parameters of the scene (performance in AX-Edge) can be
edited with a graphic interface (Volume, Pan, sound selection, synthesis
parameter offset, keyboard range and speed..) along with all the parameters
relating to the scene effects (Reverb, Chorus, Delay,..).
The Fantom version of the software contains complete editing of the scene
effects and editing of the main parameters of parts 1-4.

User Tone section for AX-Edge
Through a dedicated section, available only in the AX-Edge
version of the software, it is possible to store, directly on the "User Tones"
memory of the synth, the tones modified with the editor or loaded from the
library.
